Note di degustazione
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru offers attractive fruit on the nose with raspberry, wild strawberry and pressed flower scents. It needs a little more delineation but it is quite seductive. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, gentle grip, rather strict and almost Morey-like in style. Dried herbs and black pepper furnish the finish. Quite a gutsy Gevrey that should age well in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.

Aromas of raspberries, cherries and peonies preface the 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux St Jacques, a medium to full-bodied wine with good depth and concentration, its perfumed core of fruit framed by powdery tannins. Rather than emphasizing the more brooding side of this climat, it's a Lavaux St Jacques that—like all of Magnien's wines—emphasizes suppleness and purity of fruit.
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru comes from 70-year-old vines located in eleven 100-meter-long rows, or 0.26 hectares. This was showing a touch more reduction than the Les Cazetiers, rendering the nose more difficult to read. The palate is medium-bodied with very supple, quite fine tannins, mainly black fruit and touches of licorice and white pepper. There is impressive density on the finish, though I find that the Les Cazetiers displays a little more breeding at this stage.
